INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 6)

Ahoy there! 🙂

I’m very excited to invite your community to participate in Season 6 of the Mafia Championship.

The Mafia Championship is an annual forum-based tournament series that pits representatives from various online Mafia (aka Werewolf) communities against one another as they compete to determine the Internet’s greatest forum Mafia player. Each participating community democratically elects one person to represent them and be their “Champion”.

The tournament first started back in 2013. Since then, 270+ different communities and 50+ different nationalities have been represented.

It’s a super fun event that has created many new friendships and close bonds between communities. I hope that you would be interested in taking part 🙂

1. DO YOU ACCEPT THE INVITATION?

If your community wishes to participate, please confirm your participation to Thingyman as soon as you can to ensure yourselves a spot. Currently, the plan is to accommodate 187 communities this season (last season featured 170 communities), and if interest is high enough we will expand even further to 204.

If your community agrees to participate, the deadline for selecting your representative is April 26, but the sooner the better.

The games will take place on Mafia Universe. If it’s okay, I can link directly to the general discussion thread regarding this topic on Mafia Universe.

Important notes

• You may decide yourselves how you want to elect your representative, but we highly recommend some sort of democratic process (public nominations followed by a poll usually works out well).
• In addition to electing a representative, you should also name an alternate (a back-up) who will be asked to step in if the first choice needs to back out.
• Your representative should be prepared for having to read upwards of 600 posts per 24 hours during the early stages of the game. Additionally, there’s a requirement that each player must make at least 10 posts per Game Day. Only active players should apply/participate. I repeat: Your chosen player needs to be able to promise a good amount of activity on a daily basis!

1. SEASON 6 FORMAT

The tournament structure

• 187 communities will participate, each sending one representative.
• QUALIFIERS: 11 Qualifying Games will be played, consisting of 17 players each. I.e. every representative plays in one Qualifying Game. The players themselves vote post-game to determine who is deserving of advancement. 1st place will advance directly to the Finale Game (i.e. 11 of the 17 finalists are found this way), while the 2nd place finishers will advance directly to one of the two Wildcard Games.
• WILDCARDS: A Jury consisting of finalists from Season 5 will discuss and vote to determine 23 players in total deserving of a second chance. They will play in 2 Wildcard Games along with the aforementioned 2nd place finishers that advanced directly to these games. From each game, three players will advance to the Finale Game based on a post-game player vote, just like in the qualifying phase.
• THE FINALE: The Finale Game is played. Once it has completed, the players vote to determine who shall receive the title of Season 6 Champion and a winner’s certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia.

The setup: Mad17
13x Town
4x Mafia

Each of the following 17 roles will be assigned at random to one player in the game without regard for the player's alignment. Each role is restricted to using its action only on the nights listed on the chart.

Role	Acts On	Modifier
Watcher	n1 Only	Macho
Watcher	n2 Only
Alignment Cop	n2 Only	1x Ninja
Alignment Cop	n3 Only	1x Ninja
Vigilante	n2 Only
Vigilante	n3 Only
Doctor	n1, n3
Doctor	n2, n4
Tracker	n1, n3
Tracker	n2, n4
Jailkeeper	n1, n3
Jailkeeper	n2, n4
Roleblocker	n1, n2, n3
Role Cop	n1, n2, n3	1x Strongman
Jack of All Trades (Role Cop, Tracker, Roleblocker)	n1, n2, n3
Jack of All Trades (Doctor, Jailkeeper, Voyeur)	n1, n2, n3
Voyeur	n1, n2, n3, n4	1x Strongman

More information on Mafia Universe.

Relevant mechanics info

• Day start.
• Role reveals at death are alignment only. You will not learn a player's exact role when they die.
• Deadline Lynch. I.e. day does not end at majority.
• If there is a tied lynch, one of the tied players will be randomly lynched.
• No outside communication. I.e. you may not contact the other players outside of the thread (unless you are Mafia and wish to speak with your teammates).
• Phase Lengths and Deadlines will be up to the players themselves (I’ll organize your representative into a game with deadlines that suit their preferences).
• Thread is locked during Night Phases.
• Votes are automatically locked in at LYLO.
• The mafia faction kill is assigned and can be tracked, watched, blocked, etc.
• The mafia faction kill is optional on Nights 1 to 4 and mandatory on Nights 5 and beyond.
• Usage of night actions is optional, but unused actions will be lost.
• Mafia members may perform the faction kill in addition to their regular action at the same time.
• The game will have a host to oversee everything and make sure everyone’s following the code of conduct, but otherwise the game is completely automated (automatic votecounts, thread locks and reveals roles automatically, the bot receives and processes actions, etc.).

1. SEASON 6 TIMELINE

There will be 11 Qualifying Games, and your representative plays in just one of these. They will have start dates during the months of April, May and June. So in other words, as long as your representative can play sometime during that period, they should be good and I’ll make sure they get scheduled into a game that suits their schedule well. I.e. if your rep is busy until June, that isn’t a problem.

Wildcard games will be played in July, and the Finale Game sometime in August/September (whenever we can work out something that suits everyone).

If you want to get in contact with me ASAP, you can find me on Discord (Thingyman#6075).

Kind regards,
Thingyman

 

[Crayola227]

so I will be busy until like June 13th, but I hope this doesn't mean I won't be able to play?

 

[SARdoghandler]

Omg Cray I went to like your post because the new layout makes the whole "Likes are love" stand out and I have like options. This is revolutionary

 

[WildZoo]

Man, I knew I should have asked to represent last year. Not sure I could do it with clinics even though I'd really like to 🙁

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

I nominate @WildZoo and @genny!!
have people done it in the past? who?

 

[Lawpy]

I support anyone

 

[WildZoo]

I nominate @WildZoo and @genny!!
have people done it in the past? who?

I think Dy did it back when she played here and I think AM has done it...can't remember if anyone else has

 

[WildZoo]

And than you for the nomination 😍
I'm looking over my clinic schedule to see if I could make something work

 

[genny]

I nominate @WildZoo and @genny!!
have people done it in the past? who?

I appreciate the nomination! My WW is a lil less serious than they play over at MU. Pretty sure I'd be eaten alive, lol.

 

[Lawpy]

But are they more or less serious than Lounge?

 

[dyachei]

DocE before that

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

So I have an idea but have never modded. anyone with mod experience wanna help me out?? @WildZoo @Karabiner13 @genny ?

Of course!

 

[WildZoo]

As far as championship game goes, I have times closer to the end of this month and in June when I could play. We should probably hold a vote or something? I know @Crayola227 was also interested.

 

[Crayola227]

Yeah I had no idea what this was, like the hydra game I did with AM? Or do we have a single representative for SDN play? If that's the case, I'm questioning if I should. It sounds like a lot more pages to read and I might not keep up, even in June.

Dunno, let me know. I'm considering putting my hat into the ring. But if someone wants it more and think they can do it, maybe I should hold off for the next mafia event.

It’s one person per forum I believe (so we elect one representative from SDN to represent our whole community in the big championship game on MU).

And here’s what dy said about early game post levels and post requirements, so definitely a lot of pages to read through. Each sdn page is 50 posts, so this would be about 12 sdn pages worth per day at the beginning, just to give you a reference on whether you think you’d be even able to swing it.

Your representative should be prepared for having to read upwards of 600 posts per 24 hours during the early stages of the game. Additionally, there’s a requirement that each player must make at least 10 posts per Game Day. Only active players should apply/participate.

Yeah, it's the single representative thing. The good news is a post cap has been voted into effect this season, so there won't be any more than 3400 posts leading up to the last 2 hours of EOD.

 

[SkiOtter]

lol yeah no

have to cut my teeth some other way

how do people even play more than we do? I guess you get better at skimming

frankly, I found not liking posts this last game made it like 50% faster to go through

 

[Animal Midwife]

Jesus Christ

lol this was done because last year had some players individually consistently 400+ posting per cycle. Made the thread a bit unreadable and harder to solve.

I meant Jesus Christ that they even had that problem where they had to make a rule. That’s so many posts

Wait... you aren't liking WW posts anymore?! What will I do? That could destroy my post to like ratio!!!

Right?? Something must be done

 

[Karabiner13]

For a game after the majority of finals and hopefully after Omitted Topic (which everyone should sign up for as it's going to be epic), I could potentially run Bridge on the Drina (@SARdoghandler @kaydubs ?). Would need to tweak it some. Currently is made for 25 players

I'll be starting rotations, but around enough to mod for sure.

 

[PippyPony]

Despite threatening to not vote for her in this last game, I think I would like to vote for AM

 

[PippyPony]

And also despite my abysmal performance in this last game, I would like to toss my name in for consideration for the back up spot only 🙂

 

[Animal Midwife]

Thank you for the nomination!

I can get behind both of these.

 

[Karabiner13]

Don't say these things. I am being a good student.

Maybe if this is so much fun though, it will inspire people to make intricate games for summertime that I can play haha...

When do finals end? Bridge on the Drina is far more intricate than I usually make but not as intricate as Navi’s game. I plan on having it as a summer game

 

[PippyPony]

@SnowshoeDog143 I am possibly going to run Wheel of Time this summer, which will be lounge style and story/mechanics heavy, with approximately 34 players, so similar to this game that is about to be run

A Pippy game nearly 2 years in the making is going to be amazin

 

[Crayola227]

autosign me up for anything after June 12th

 

[Lawpy]

i'm hoping to play @WildZoo dark tower, Hannibal and the ?WW? games

I have been working on Dark Tower for approximately 3 years lol maybe it's time to get it wrapped up

Oh yeah. I'll be done in a month =)

 

[Navilly]

Has anyone done a politics WW as of recently? I was debating running a democratic primary speed WW (with randomized roles/affiliations - double blind game, with all role abilities in the game listed on the thread) if that would be of interest to any in the early summer.

Tbh not sure if something political themed is the greatest topic for something in a pre-vet professional forum.

Depends on how the theme is handled I would think. I was imagining something along the satire lines but that of course is up to @Navilly

I don't see many speed games in my future unfortunately lol

I was going to say, def count me in as long as I can be Merkley. but I know he announced he won't be running *sobs* (also OT I have pics with me with merkley when I was lobbying for sentencing reform. He is a cool cool dude)

 

[Lawpy]

Not playing speed games so i'm out 🙁

Politically themed games are better reserved for elsewhere imo
